GDT - We Love Vintage - Sun, Beach, Sea - A BEACH CARD

Hi everyoneWell I am bubbling with joy to be invited to be invited as Guest Designer not for just July, but for August as well by this lovely Challenge Blog at We Love VintageThe Challenge theme for July is 'A BEACH CARD'. Well at first I was a little out of my comfort zone as I just did not have a Vintage image to fit this theme. So my thanks go to my friend Tracy at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ for hunting through her stash and finding me not one but two lovely images to fit the theme. THANK YOU TRACY!Well, there is quite a story to this. BEACH? Now we live in a small Fishing Port on the North East Coast here in UK, and we are by the sea. So if I can not come up with Beachy goodies, well I would be in the dunces corner! Haha. So, I dragged hubby off to the beach, gathered sand, but would you believe there were no shells. I never give up! Off we went to our little shell shop and I came home with a lovely bag of tiny shells too. As we were walking along the Marina, there were a load of crab pots stacked. Well, a girl can not just walk past all these bits of rope the fishermen had dropped scattering the pathway! What people must have thought I do not know! lol I came home with some tatty bits of rope in my bag too! They have all been washed and disinfected, and are good to use now. Hey and use them I will!So - onto my card.But first - let me tell you, Tracy at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ has the most brilliant 'collection' she is selling in her shop - and guess what? The theme of the pack is 'Nautical' Perfect for this Challenge! Here is the link to the 'collection' - http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1180857-New-Crafteezee-Collection-Monthly.html

It is hard to tell on the photo, but there is lashings of Ducth Doobadoo Structure paste added to this card (border die-cuts, flowers, leaves, rope, shells,)

It would be lovely if you had time to pop over and see the Design Team's beautiful work, and even better if you fancied taking part in the Challenge. ( http://wlvc.blogspot.co.uk/)
